knittinganddeath Posted 23 June , 2021 Share Posted 23 June , 2021 Hi @GROBBY the PDF for the Brussels card is actually just the picture on the front again, can you post the back when you have time?

Das schöne Weihnachtsfest ist nun vorüber, ich hatte nichts davon. Seite heute Nacht furchtbarer Sturm + Regen. Die Kanonen donnern unentwegt. Leider höre ich jetzt von Dir nichts, bis wieder in L[üttich] bin. Hoffentlich bist Du + die l. Eltern gesund. Anna + Liesl bleiben wohl länger bei Euch? Euch allen, tausen innige Grüsse. Fritz Brussels, Museum of Fine Arts to Betty Lange in Marktredwitz Dear darling! My motto is "ever waiting." The Christmas celebrations are now over, they were nothing to me. Since tonight there has been a terrible storm and rain. The cannons thunder constantly. Unfortunately I won't hear anything from you until I return to Liege. Hopefully you and the dear parents are healthy. Anna and Liesl are going to stay longer with you, aren't they? A thousand warmest greetings to you all. Fritz Valenciennes - La Gare Valenciennes, 6.I.15 Lieber Schatz! Aus V. dem Norden Frankr. herzl. Grüsse + Küsse Deine Männe Es geht sofort weiter!

knittinganddeath Posted 30 June , 2021 Share Posted 30 June , 2021 The soldier Geschrieben den 1/12.15 Lieber Konrad! Deine lieben Brief soeben erhalten besten Dank. Schicke dir hier mein Bild was ich schon vor 14 Tage tun wollte, wenn ich deine Adresse richtig gewusst. Otto ist jetzt in Deutschland, wo weiss ich nicht. Es freut mich dass dir's noch gut geht. Bei mir ist es auch noch der Fall. Es grüsst auf Wiedersehn . . . . . . Specht? Written on 1/12.15 Dear Konrad! Received your last letter, thank you very much. Hereby sending you my picture, which I wanted to do 14 days ago, if only I had known your correct address. Otto is now in Germany, but I don't know where. I was happy to hear that you are still doing well. That is also the case with me. Greetings and goodbye, . . . . . Specht (As usual I can't read the personal name...sorry about that. There are 32 pages of Spechts in the Verlustlisten, so I thought it seemed plausible as his surname.) Maybe Otto was wounded and got sent to a hospital in Germany to recover? Next, from our milkman: Noyon (Oise) - die Kathedrale aus der Vogelschau Frankreich, 18.12.15 Liebe Marichen Viele herzliche Weihnachtsgrüsse von deinem lieben Vater Noyon (Oise) - bird's eye view of the cathdral France, 18.12.15 Dear Marichen Many warm Christmas greetings from your dear Father Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
